A power outage at the Super Bowl put the nation’s biggest sporting event on hold for more than a half-hour Sunday, interrupting an otherwise electric game that ended with the Baltimore Ravens as NFL champions. »Read Full Article

Congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens and Ray Lewis. I'm VERY happy that Ray was able to go out on top. No matter what his detractors say, he's a two-time Super Bowl winner and first ballot Hall of Famer who will go down as one of the best middle linebackers in the history of the game. Hopefully many fans can take notes of how players win on the field instead of just being "Packer People" off of it.

Ray Lewis hasn't paid any debts to anyone. The only thing he has done is patiently waited for time to pass so fickle fans would forget or not care about what happened.

He hasn't told the whole truth about the two murders, nor has he taken responsibility for his involvement in them. Paying off the families of the victims doesn't count for anything. Ray Lewis is a pile of human garbage.

I just love antagonizing hypcrites. Our society in general lacks emphathy and rarely allows for redemption. He's had ZERO on or off the field incidents since he ran too long with the wrong crowd when he was in his early 20s when we were all stupid. And Dan Marino fathered a child out of wedlock in 2005 when he was married. Not to mention Favre's obsession with young girls while married. And the links Clay Matthews have to PEDs including one of his close friends and teammates getting caught. But they'll never get criticized on these boards. I still support all three of them if they're not REPEAT offenders.

Very good game and cheezehead 4 life is right best way for Lewis to go out a super bowl champion and I do must say Flacco took things out of Rodgers playbook and had a monumental day. The ravens said they watched and studied the game against the Packers and learned how to contain Kaepernick and did a heck of a job keeping him in the pocket. I am glad the Niners were contained from winning their six its time for some new teams (if not the Packers) to get some Super Bowl titles. I know for sure some Niner fans will whine and gripe about that last play on downs where some say should have been pass interference but good call by the refs.

The Ravens so looked a heck a lot like the 2010 GB Packers going in there at 10-6 and etching out a victory thanks to a turnover on downs. Smart move at the end to sacrifice two pts to run out the clock to prevent any chance of a Forty-Niner last play. Ravens deserve this and so does Ray Lewis. Congrats maybe next year the Packers will be there to win it time to take some notes Packers.GO PACK GO!!!

Could the Packers borrow the Ravens' offensive and defensive lines? Maybe the running back as well. Not Rice, but that Pierce kid (nice third round selection). While the 49ers dominated the Packers up front in both meetings this season, they could not do that to Baltimore.

Question is, can the Packers find a way to be that physical up front? Until they are, it'll be very difficult to win the Super Bowl again anytime soon.

They have to have a physical mind set first and foremost. It's only a few players on the Packers roster who actually play with nastiness and that's Desmond Bishop, D.J. Smith, Nick Perry, Charles Woodson, and B.J. Raji (from time to time).

49er's Final Set of Downs was very poor Play Calling - forget the "hold" - where was Vernon Davis OR Randy Moss - could have called TO on 4th Down - and settled Kap down. Despite Lewis; must admit was pulling for Ravens as Jim Harbaugh is a bit toooooo much - John more deserving at this point.....Jim will get one.

Great game! For the first time without the Pack in the bowl, I watched the whole thing and not just the commercials and paid attention. Both quarterbacks (especially Colin) showed what the new generation of QBs will look like. Colin is amazing and has a HUGE future ahead of him. To make such a scoring comeback, which he has done before, is nothing to be ashamed about. This was one of the great super bowls, despite the power outage (which lead to innane babble from the network guys to fill time) and Beyonce (liked the return of Destiny's Child) but didn't care, as usual, for the show itself.

The officials made sure he got his Super Bowl win against Seattle. He needs to stay behind the mike. The Commish was able to make of game of it last night with the magic 35 or 45 minute blackout. Sometimes you gotta wonder.
